artwork is a 16th century turkish tile from the newly opened arab lands wing at the Metropolitan museum, gorgeous show, see it if you can. brought tears to my eyes to imagine manycontemporaries in those lands hell bent on erasing each other from the planet.

Morning all. I see a couple of sealions in the tile. Is this your way of discerning the mental health of your listeners, Rorshach-style?!

Tue. 11/15/11 9:24am
trouble:
it is not the mental health of my listeners i question ( how could i? wink) but the vibe of the power mongers at large: Zuccotti park was evacuated/seized last night, under the cloak of darkness

Bring back Andalusia - all religions respected, all people respected, all peace cherished. Enlightenment in a difficult age. The tile makes me feel this way.

Gorgeous. I have a soft spot for Turkey, my childhood best friend's dad from there. He shared wonderful food, art and (in retrospect) music with us.

Love Gilbert.

this is gilbert o sullivan. His from my hometown of waterford city, ireland. i recognise his voice. i come from waterford city. i live in alexanderplatz berlin germany. i am a filmmaker and a maker of sounds. your playing of G.O.S is, though slightly tongue in cheek and rather kitschy, a nice gesture that G.O.S would appreciate.

Beautiful start of the show. According to the BBC the Zuccotti Park prtestors have moved to near by Foley Square. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15734936

We visited Istanbul last year and your picture reminds me of Rustem Pasha Mosque. Quite beautiful, building & tiles in the middle of the Spice bizarre!!

I thought this looked like tile. I've always loved Islamic tile patterns that make my head spin to infinity. Speaking of head spinning, I have to check out for a bit. Will check back in a while,,,,

There is a court order calling for the protesters to be allowed back into Zuccoti WITH their tents - hearing scheduled for 11 am. Hard to tell from the press coverage how good the chances are of a return to full occupation - could realistically be nil or maybe it's actually possible - not clear.

good morning philadelphia! healey i have friends who are heading to the mutter museum next weekend, any suggestions on anything else nearby, food, etc?

i would suggest eating after the mutter visit, just in case

Tue. 11/15/11 9:55am

I think maybe the protesters should just mill down the rich people shopping districts peacefully and in masse on Black Friday. Go in to stores and buy the equivalent of a pack of gum.

Tue. 11/15/11 9:56am
Cecile:
inconvenience is a powerful motivator. Basically just say "if you don't listen to us, we will come and peacefully shop EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR."

Having just Googled it, I'm rather disappointed to discover the the Mutter Museum is not, in fact, a museum dedicated to muttering, sotte voce comments and Chinese whispers.

Finally made it to that groovy E Village record shop you've long recommended - Tropicalia in Furs, 304 East 5th Street (they do have some great stuff). I could only stay for a couple of minutes but while in there I overhead a youngster from Minneapolis saying how she heard about it on FMU (I bet your show, Trouble). I think you and/or the station deserve a kickback! (Um, just kidding FCC...)

Tue. 11/15/11 10:00am

that's so cool, Rob.

I was a youngster in Minneapolis back in the day and hung out for hours upon hours at a stellar shop called Oarfolkjokeopus. Wonder if it's still around... Twin Cities had some pretty great record shops.

hopefully the protest will continue to adapt to circumstances as it has done so well. not the end but the beginning, thats the spirit!

Philadelphia's secret weapon (restaurant-wise): Indonesian food! We had an excellent meal at the lively Indonesia Restaurant, 1725 Snyder Ave. There are also Indonesian groceries in the same South Philly neighborhood with prepared street food and treats. For a few listings and restaurant / menu reccomendations see: http://www.yelp.com/list/indonesian-philly-philadelphia.

Dave, it is! It is now called Treehouse, a play on the last name of its long time manager. It's still good.
Electric Fetus is still good, and we have a Shuga records now too. I haven't been to the 5th Element, but the Rhymesayers run it, so it's probably great.

rob I've never been to that restaurant! it sounds great. a few of my favorite places to eat are mccrossens tavern, pub and kitchen (both good for beers/excellent food), vietnam restaurant (in chinatown), tinto and zahav (for something a lil' fancier), dmitris (several locations, great greek/mediterranean)....i could go on :)

Occupiers here in Halifax, NS got the boot from police over the weekend too. On Remembrance Day, when they relocated temporarily to make room for the veterans' ceremony. Shameful!

Tue. 11/15/11 10:14am
Cecile:
that has been gone for a long, long time.
Even worse, one of the Shinders heirs got caught with drugs and guns and so now all the Shinders are gone. It's pretty awful.
On the bright side, First Avenue added a restaurant and it's surprisingly good!

Good morning Trouble and the Modern World ! When we are here we are not so troubled anymore ! If I were in NYC today I would occupy Foley Sq ! Cold and dark in Finland, but the music brightens up our afternoon! cheers Trouble!

BIG shout out to the cause, Trouble. People are showing real courage to keep up the occupation. The world is paying attention and many are inspired! Keep it peaceful people, even under provocation. A change is gonna come!
